If you were at CONvergence last weekend, you probably saw this promotional art for next year’s convention and it’s British Invasion theme. I wanted to post a key to the references it contains for those that might not have gotten all of them.

Connie as Emma Peel from The Avengers

Professor Max as John Steed from The Avengers

Connie Mark 2 as Nathan from Misfits

That Smiley Planet Guy from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

God from Monty Python and the Holy Grail

The Liberator from Blake’s 7

Starbug from Red Dwarf

Harry Potter from… uh… Harry Potter

An alien walker from John Christopher’s Tripods

Thunderbird 1 from Gerry Anderson’s Thunderbirds

The TARDIS from Doctor Who

Graffiti from V for Vendetta

A Triffid from Day of the Triffids

Not numbered, but visible in the background: The London Eye, Big Ben, and a Double-Decker London bus.

I considered adding a reference to The Prisoner or Sherlock Holmes or James Bond… but I didn’t want to over-clutter it. There’s a whole year ahead to reference the works of H.G. Welles, Sapphire and Steel, 28 Days Later, Quatermass…
